Little Conversations

The other day after picking Isaac and Ashley up from school, we were driving along and Ashley asked how the baby will come out. (A frequently asked question) Before Kenneth or I could answer we heard Isaac telling her that when the baby is ready Mommies tummy will crack like an egg and the baby will just come out. What imaginations!

Sunday morning I called Ashley into my bathroom so I could do her hair for church. I was planning on putting some more curls in her hair with the curling iron so I had my mouse out on the counter to use in her hair. She always ask to use it and I always say no. When Ashley saw me put some in my hand ready to apply it in her hair, her eyes lit up with excitement and she said, "COW! I have always wanted cow in my hair. I love cow." I was a little confused at first and then it clicked and as I was laughing I asked her if she meant mouse and she said, "oh yea I forgot." I said, "that's okay we can call it cow." So we don't wear mouse anymore. It's all about the cow.

A couple of weeks ago I was trying to get the kids ready for bed. Ashley ran and hid behind her bedroom door. It was not hard to notice her there, but she thought she was hidden well. I walked into her room and handed her something behind her door and told her to get into her pajamas. Ashley said, "Oh man, how did you know that I was here?" I simply replied, "I am your Mommy, I know everything." She thought about that for a second and then came back at me with, "you don't know everything Mommy, your pregnant!" BAM!

A few days after my little conversation with Ashley about knowing everything I was sitting down with Isaac asking him a bunch of questions. Things such as, what are you learning at church, Tell me about your friends. You know, normal questions we ask our children to keep up with them. He having over heard my little conversation with Ashley a few days previous just looked at me and said, "I thought you knew everything!" I having to think quickly said, "oh, but I am pregnant, remember?"

I love my children. They keep me going, laughing and happy!
